Airports at each end
Leaving Groningen
Groningen is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Groningen Airport Eelde (GRQ), 11 km (7 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 8,202 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
Arriving in Changchun
Changchun is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Changchun Longjia International Airport (CGQ), 32 km (20 mi) from the centre, whose 10,500-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Changchun Longjia International Airport | CGQ | 32 km (20 mi) | 10,500 ft | 706 ft |
One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 7,746 km (4,813 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
